Nina Simone - Wild is the Wind

This was Marcelle’s suggestion, we both love this song. It wasn’t originally written for Nina Simone, but she does the best version of it, (she does the best version of everything). David Bowie sang this as well, but you’ll have to look that up yourself. At 6 minutes, it’s not a quick song at almost 7 minutes long, but when you reach that pay off at about 6’11”, you’ll be glad you hung in there.

Don’t you know you’re Life itself,
Like a leaf clings to a tree,
Oh my darling,
cling to me.
